Quality is not job One at Flatrock

[wilkinda65]

Well first of all the design of the hood is retarded. That 3-angle corner on each side makes it look terrible and it's also nearly impossible to line it up perfectly with the grille and both fenders. Stupid design on Ford's part.

The '24 I looked at when my dealer got it in had wrinkled leather seats inside. I was like, really? For $50k I'd get to look at those wrinkles and poor stitching every single day?

Prices went up, performance stayed neutral, and quality went down. The cherry on top is that hideous digital screen setup that looks like an afterthought. Remind me again why anybody would sell a S197 or S500 to get one of these?

My 2021 Mach1 had wrinkled leather passenger seat. Guess they carried the lack of quality into the next generation Mustang right?

Can’t use the word retarded anymore. Even if you’re describing a moron, which by the way, is a word you can’t use anymore either.
Unless you’re an idiot who doesn’t care about someone’s feelings. Damn, can’t use idiot anymore either. Isn’t that stupid?

To quote the great George Carlin ' mentally challenged ' was OK but that was 15 yrs. ago so who knows.

I think that was exactly the irony he was going for by using it.

Quality was pretty much my number 1 hope for what Ford will improve with S650. Build quality and material quality was fine when S550 launched for the really good price. But over the years the Mustang reached price points where it's just a big flaw compared to the competitors. And even problems like Typewriter tick aren't fixed.

I love the styling of S650 but a Dark Horse costs exactly as much a M2 G87. And BMW as always heavily understates the delivered power so from reviews it seems like the M2 is slightly faster (3.8s to 60 for manual). How the hell can a german premium coupe be a better bang for the bucks than a Mustang?

Dissolve one (1) Viagra pill in warm water and stir. Once thoroughly mixed, apply mixture sparingly to wrinkled area on seat(s). Wrinkles should completely disappear in 15-20 minutes.

Just be careful and don't get any in your eyes. That mixture can make it hard to see.

Thank you! I'll see my way out....

A precautionary note. Over application may cause the seating surface to become hard for an extended period of time. If this occurs, consult a professional detailer immediately.

Not only that, but if you get it in your ears it can make you hard of hearing.

Pulled aero shield to change oil filter and found that there was 1 screw missing and worse was that the UAW worker, that just got a huge pay raise, had broken the head off another screw and left the shank still in the treads. Luckily I was able to use a pair of pliers to get it out. What kind of f***ing moron does that?

Hi Q6543. Since you appear to know what is going on in Flatrock, maybe you can help me out with the following. During dealer prep, the dealer found 2 bolts laying in the trunk. Sizes M5 X 24 mm and M8 X 34 mm. Maybe you can check with your union buddies and find out where they are supposed to go. What happened to pride in your workmanship?

With UAW new deal and the 40% raise they are now getting I'd expect perfection, as that 40% is going to be paid for by the customer with higher MSRP. Pretty much running themselves out of work at this point.

It must be sooooo hard to watch a machine do your work for you . Jokers.
